The museum at Lysøen was the home of the vionlist Ole Bull. It was built on the site of an old farm from the 1600’s. Ole Bull’s summer house on the island of Lysøen was built between 1872-1873 and is architecturally unique. On the 700 acre island, there is fantastic nature, 13km of walking trails and a viewing tower on the highest point of the island.

The trip starts with a double decker bus from Musèplass and goes via Fanafjellet to the Buena quay, where the group will be transported in two groups by boat to the island.

On the island, there will be a presentation about Ole Bull’s life and the villa which he built on Lysøen. After the presentation you can wander around the house, take photos and appreciate the many details.

In the cafe a light lunch will be served tea/coffee and a waffle (we recommend you also take a packed lunch with you). After lunch you can explore the island on your own.

If you are late for the charted departure of the boat from the island, you will have to make your own way back to Bergen.

Included in the ticket price:

• Return bus trip Museplass/Buena quay.
